Gum disease (gingivitis and the more severe periodontitis) is the most diagnosed disease in dogs and cats. In fact, by the age of four, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats will show signs of dental disease.

If left untreated, gum disease not only can cause bad breath, tooth decay, and tooth loss, but once the bacteria gains access to internal organs through diseased gums, more serious health problems like heart, liver and kidney disease may follow.

A growing number of studies suggest that the healthier the mouth, the healthier the pet. That's why seeing your regular veterinarian for routine dental cleanings and check-ups is an important part of good pet care.
